Falmouth Jewish Congregation invites you to an author talk and book signing by Michelle Ephraim, who will discuss her memoir, “Green World: A Tragicomic Memoir of Love & Shakespeare.” Enjoy refreshments, Ephraim’s presentation, Q&A and book signing.
“Green World” is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of Ephraim’s quest to become a Shakespeare scholar and to find community and home. As she studies Shakespeare, Ephraim’s world uncannily begins to mirror the story of the Jewish daughter in “The Merchant of Venice,” and she finds herself in a “Green World,” an idyllic place where Shakespeare’s heroines escape their family trauma. “Green World” reckons with global, historical, and personal tragedy and shows how literature—comic and tragic—can help us brave every kind of anguish.
Michele Ephraim is a professor of English at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She is the author of “Reading the Jewish Woman on the Elizabethan Stage” and co-author of “Shakespeare, Not Stirred.” Her essays have appeared in The Washington Post, Lilith, Tikkun, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency and other venues.
